202. Jābir bin Samurah narrated: "The Mu'adh-dhin of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would wait and he would not call the Iqāmah until he saw that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had come out, he would call the Iqāmah when he saw him." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Jābir bin Samurah is a Ḥasan [Ṣaḥīḥ] Hadīth We do not know of the Hadīth of [Isrā'īl from] Samāk except from this route. And this is what some people of knowledge say: That the Mu'adh-dhin is in charge of the Adhān and the Imām is in charge of the Iqāmah.

Arabic text

٢٠٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْرَائِيلُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ‌سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، سَمِعَ ‌جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ: «كَانَ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُمْهِلُ فَلَا يُقِيمُ»، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ خَرَجَ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ حِينَ يَرَاهُ. حَدِيثُ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ، وَحَدِيثُ سِمَاكٍ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَهَكَذَا قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: إِنَّ الْمُؤَذِّنَ أَمْلَكُ بِالْأَذَانِ، وَالْإِمَامُ أَمْلَكُ بِالْإِقَامَةِ.

Commentary

The time of Adhān and when it should be called is the responsibility of the Mu'adh-dhin; and Iqāmah should only be said on the Imām's arrival or with his permission, it is almost agreed.
